Review Summary

Cafe Gotsoul earns praise for its chill vibe, great music, and friendly, accommodating staff that make the space welcoming. Coffee and pastries are repeatedly highlighted, with standout drinks and a varied pastry selection that pair well with the atmosphere. The interior is stylish and distinctive, echoing a record shop with vinyl, a gramophone, and a small in-house DJ setup that enhances the experience and hosts listening parties and events. Guests often feel at home, noting a nostalgic, living-room vibe and a sense of comfort during visits. Service is generally strong and professional, though a rare order slip can occur, usually resolved with a quick apology and correction. Pricing is mentioned by some as a downside for certain items, but many feel the overall value, ambiance, and music justify it. Overall, Cafe Gotsoul is a unique spot for coffee lovers and music fans, delivering a memorable vibe and experience.

Wow. Très beau café & surtout si vous voulez avoir des souvenirs du temps du Soul. Il y a un DJ qui vient vers 13h le jeudi pour faire des mixs avec vinyles. Tout simplement fantastique. Vaut vraiment le détou

It's been a while since I set foot in this coffee shop but every time I do, I feel like as if I'm sitting in my own living-room of nostalgia. As a 90's kid, a lot of memories come back. From the beautiful display of funky jazz, R&B & soul vinyl collection & the JVC radios that make you feel like as if you are a part of a'Spike Lee Joint' to the in house DJ playing hits that only my Aunt would play during family BBQ's, this coffee shop is basically a Time Machine back to the coolest decade! Not to mention, my latte was perfect!! Overall, Got Soul is a tasteful coffee shop that if the Beastie Boys were from Montreal, they would give it a major shout out! Giving this place a 5 star just ain't enough!

I'm always on the lookout for discovering new places, & this time, I stepped into this café-no wait, this museum! The Italian owner of the café (Mike),is a pleasant yet serious man, the furniture is original, & most interesting of all, there's music, a gramophone, speakers, vinyl records… all of which turn this place into a café-gallery-museum. As for the coffee-just imagine how good it must be when an Italian is the one making it! & don't forget to try the donuts & samosas too.

Pretty cool concept for a cafe. They said they do listening parties, which sounds fun.

Coffee & pastries passable & definitely not a highlight but the staff were friendly. Obviously the most unique thing about this cafe is the sound systems & vinyls & streetwear on sale. Great atmosphere, probably better at nights.

I like trying all the great coffee that montreal has to offer, I was intrigued & found a spot just outside. I tried the cortado & flat white. For. 6$ flat white i expected a little more love. The milk was just heated there wasn't any micromousse, & when I asked about it I was told that only lattes have microfoam. I must admit it has great atmosphere, I entered to try the coffee, but I was disappointed by the coffee & by the service. polite just surprised with shortness of the There is magic to good microfoam it changes the composition of a coffe - when I took the top off it just looked like heated up milk with coffee & for that I don't need to pay 6$. I have also worked as a barista. I was surprised to have been responded like that. Anyways here's what I found maybe the barista can find it useful. "A flat white is a coffee drink consisting of espresso with microfoam (steamed milk with small, fine bubbles & a glossy or velvety consistency). It generally has a higher proportion of espresso to milk than a caffè latte, & a thinner layer of microfoam than a cappuccino" I didn't try the food or by vinyl, but very nicely decorated it does have great atmosphere. Congratulations for that.

A must visit shop for any level of music enthusiast. The range of gear, rare vinyl, & ambiance is amazing. Jojo & his crew made something special there.
